Revealed: How Gwen Stacy Became Spider-Man’s Most Dangerous Ally (and Sometimes Enemy)! When people think of Spider-Man’s most iconic allies—or antagonists—Gwen Stacy rarely tops the list. Yet, over the decades, her complex relationship with Peter Parker has transformed her from a shy high school science student into a pivotal, dynamic force in the web-slinger’s life.
